• Jul. 27, 2006 - Supermom

I know she doesnt really exist (except in the form of vitamin supplements) but there is that part in me that is always striving to become her.   I want the perfect house (or at least a somewhat tidy house), always eat pefectly organic and healthy  (which is hard when hamburgers and pizza are my favorite foods).  I want the perfect children - at least polite, well balanced, loving, creative (wait that is perfect children) and most importantly serving the Lord, but I fail so often as the example of those things and investing the time into them, that I need,  but despite my failures, they are pretty good kids, if I do say so myself.  (OK, so that sentence is probably grammaticaly full of errors)   I want the perfect blog, you know the one that looks gorgeous and imparts lots of unique wisdom and humor.   But so often I fail at these things, so what am I trying to say.  I dont know, I am just feeling a bit down.  Time to sing some songs and praise the Lord....therefore but for the grace of God go I and pray that I will become the woman that he wants me to be!

Ah, the dreaded supermom syndrome. I have many symptoms of that myself. Not meeting our own expectations or dreams of the "perfect Norman Rockwell" family can be a major "downer". More often than not my family (and me) doesn't fit into those N. R. pictures- but those incredible moments when we do- when it all clicks- those are the moments I grab and cherish and focus on when the kids are bickering and showing off their most henious manners in front of others and when I serve pre-made chicken nuggets for supper or *gasp* when I serve McD's for supper!
Chin up Kay! God knows and God cares for you more deeply than anyone else can. Thanks for being real. You are loved- even if you can't leap tall buildings in a single bound! LOL

I feel your pain as I often fly into that same rut from time to time. It usually comes with that time of the month. We want to be all we can be for our family but somehow end up falling short. I will certainly pray for you my sister!
In Christ,
Connie
